CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 70 years takes its toll
and these are the vital projects required:
Replacement of roofing
Kitchen replacement and expansion
Comprehensive exterior renovation
Construction of new rectory The Capital Campaign for Our Lady of the Mountains seeks
pledges of five years or less to replace the roof, create the
new kitchen, do exterior repairs and build a new rectory.
Gifts can be accepted in a variety of forms, with an emphasis
on those that can be used immediately.
Your support is vital.
Campaign Envelopes are in pews.
By inviting us through the discipline of Lent to tread the paths of love and hope marked out by Christ, the Church
makes us realize that the Christian life involves detachment from superfluous goods, and the acceptance of a
poverty which sets us free, and enables us to discover God’s presence and to welcome our brothers and sisters
with an ever more active solidarity and in an ever wider fellowship.
St John Paul II
Preferred Florist for
Our Lady of the Mountains
